The Archdiocese has been made aware of a John and Jane Doe lawsuit recently filed in Lincoln County against the Archdiocese of St. Louis and Archbishop Carlson asserting errors in the supervision of a diocesan priest. These new allegations against the archdiocese and the archbishop are false and will be denied in an answer to the lawsuit filed in court.
